Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes is a great recipe, Member Barb.Rolek

I made this recipe for my Easter dinner and they were a hit. Next time, however, I'll use a different cheese -- maybe white Cheddar or a combination of different cheeses. The sharp Cheddar made it a little too bitter, in my opinion. But I will definitely make this again.
